Failed Misanthropy (Part 10: Evangeline)


SHUT UP AND PAY ATTENTION!

THIS IS NOT A JOKE. 

 

Though nothing ever is. 

Try anything with this broad and you'll know what I'll fuck you up really means.

She's hard.

She's tough.

But her demeanor, perfectly pristine.

Some call her rude. Intolerable. Intimidating.

Some creature from a terrible dream.

Though others say she's honest. Valiant. Noble. A true queen. 

So which is it the monster,

the heroine,

or is she somewhere in between?

I guess you really can't judge or label someone based off of what you've seen.

People like this girl can surprise you.

Especially if you assume she's something she's not, then she'll definitely know to despise you.

But then why should she care, she's just so sick of being lied to.
